When the test suite fails, it provides a path to the log of the test
suite. I built with --keep-failed to inspect the log, but the file does
not exist.

Since the test suite is not passing, and there is no log of the tests,
it's hard to decide what to do :)

Does this darcs package work for your use case? Does anyone have advice?
